It is necessary to write something in order to dispel a bit of melancholy that is difficult to get rid of.
I haven't watched a complete episode for a long, long time, because I know how difficult it is to calm down when looking at the darkened computer screen at the moment when the finale ends. Excellent Japanese animation is always like this, no matter what the subject matter, there are some subtle points that really catch people, and it is very heart-warming after watching it. Knowing his own temperament, he has been avoiding it, and it seems that he no longer dares to say that Xiao Xiang once said that he wants to be a person who has read countless people.
Especially someone like Samurai Champloo, who has gone through life and death all the way, but the final parting is so dull as if the three people just met by chance.
In essence, it is indeed just a chance encounter. Wind, no illusion, benevolence. The three people have no kinship, just a sudden farce. They met by accident and embarked on the journey in confusion. At first, I even thought it was a bit too casual. Regarding the vague clue of "Samurai with the smell of sunflowers", although the two grown men asked questions, they obviously did not have a clear answer, so they were distracted by other things. After continuing the journey, the reflex arc was so long that it was only after another series of events that I remembered. And it was only when they were approaching their destination that they asked Feng about the identity of the samurai they had been looking for. Knowing that it was Feng's father, he didn't want to find out more about the past of this determined little girl, so he followed silently and continued to move forward.
But this is just right. In the chaotic era, the three seem to be rootless people. Bearing their own bitter past, some words do not need to be asked, just a few words, even a look, an action, it has become a tacit understanding. As some comments have said, no illusion and benevolence have no purpose in the first place. Just wandering around, a strong player who wants to defeat and conquer himself, who wants to find a reason to swing his sword, a fulcrum of his own strength. Since there is no purpose, and there is nothing to do, then the purpose of others can be your own. And Feng, as an innocent and straightforward little girl, may not have thought carefully about how two big men have time to accompany them to chase a hazy dream. A coin bet is too unreliable, right? But for Feng, just as she said, the appearance of these two people gave her confidence and courage, and an opportunity to set off.
All this is because of countless accidental stacking. But like Ms. Yuko in Tsubasa said, there are no coincidences in the world, there are only inevitables. Because Feng is such a naive wind, with an incomparable persistence, willing to give up the stable life with his uncles and aunts and embark on a dangerous journey to find the back in his memory. Because there is no illusion and benevolence, in the chaotic environment where the black and white are reversed, the principle and romance are still preserved in the bones, so I am willing to let go of the former lone ranger style and walk with strangers for an extremely unrealistic wish. The reason for moving forward together may be absurd and unreliable, but after stumbling and stumbling, they have also cultivated the love between each other that they will sacrifice their lives to save each other without hesitation. Some things will never be on the lips, but have been silently let it turn in the heart, rolling up the emotions like a storm.
Many people don't seem to like Feng very much, and even at the beginning, they might have abandoned the drama because they thought Feng was a dragging pig teammate. Sometimes I myself can't help but feel that how can Feng keep saying that Wuhuan and Ren are just his two bodyguards? I felt a little indignation and injustice in my heart, and I felt that the little girl seemed to have no feelings in her heart. But in retrospect, there are some scenes, Ren and Sara left, Feng shouted blessings and turned his head and cried; Only at this time did I know that the spit that I couldn't stop before was actually the little girl's dead duck mouth. Later, when they took the boat to Shengyue Island, a little trick separated the two of them, leaving behind the letter that was filled with "I don't know how to face parting", but it was the most affectionate words; and When I came to the three-way intersection again, I first said "さようなら" and then turned my back and never looked back. It made me think that the wind is the one with the lowest force value, but maybe in a sense, there are three people. The strongest one. Dare to face the sadness of parting and leave before the two older men, it seems that it is difficult to find such a fifteen or six-year-old girl in reality. The wind is indeed just ordinary and kind, as many comments say, but such extremely pure ordinary and kindness is too scarce now. Her obsession, her tenacity, and her willingness to risk her life to help all people who are kind-hearted, all these not only support her to find the person who only exists in the memory fragments, complete the wish of the journey, let herself slowly Transforming and growing up, Wuhuan also tasted a mood other than confrontation and killing, and was willing to lay down his weapons in the face of powerful opponents. It also allowed Ren to find the meaning of swinging the sword that he had been searching for, and became a unique person. The foundation of the samurai.
Therefore, even as a female audience, you will be attracted by the strong male charm of Wuhuan and Ren, but the most favorite is the wind. Only the wind. This naughty and brave little girl.
Regarding the emotional entanglement of the three people, although I was thinking about CP for the Feng and Wuhuan group when making up the show, I wanted to see the two children rubbing sparks of love, and even screamed bad for Feng Anan when Ya Ye appeared. On the night that will end, seeing Ren's confession, seeing Feng's heart revealing, and seeing Wuhuan's dozing off, his heart is entangled to death, but after the plot is over, and looking back on everyone's analysis, I am more willing to put the three of them together. The mutual feelings are seen as a much more complex and deeper existence than the simple love between men and women. The relationship between three people cannot be clearly defined with a few words. Those bits and pieces of life and death together have accumulated into vivid memories of past events, happiness or quarrels, which have long been condensed into fetters that cannot be expressed in words. I would like to believe that no one of the three prefers the other, because both of them can't let go of each other. So when leaving, the three also have to choose different paths. For the three samurai (I would like to regard Feng as a girl samurai who does not know martial arts, haha), the agreement has been completed, which means the beginning of their respective journeys. , rather than being a drag on their way to embark on new adventures. If we meet again one day, if the old friend is in a critical situation, he will definitely rescue him; if he is feasting, he will definitely come forward to enjoy it together; if he happens to walk behind him, why should he chase after him? Let's scare him/her!
Writing this, I feel a little relieved. The headphones are still playing OSTs made by Nujabes, Fat Jon, Tsutchie and other great gods. I wanted to open "Chaos Warriors" at the beginning because I always saw the name of this show in the comment area after I became fascinated with Jazz-hiphop. Because the music was so attractive, I had the courage to open it again after a long time. It's a Japanese animation, and you can see the end in one breath. Maybe everything is a miraculous encounter. As Shenglong's master said, that kind of meeting once in a while can be hard to find. Since it happens, it is a good fate to cherish. This is already a very real beauty.
